Hi all,

It seems that Point Cook and Sanctuary lakes are big favourites with us Ex-pats.

Who is planning to move to this area.

I know Krista, Missimo and Suzanne are probably moving there... anyone else?

Hi Steph,

They are certainly on our list of places to check out when we get there (which is hopefully July time!!).

THanks for replying... if you end up in Point Cook (or even if you don't) then it'll be nice for us all to meet up for drinks/coffee etc.

Where else are you looking at?

Hi Steph,

We had planned on going to Hoppers crossing, but after reading this site and finding out about point cook were definately going to look there when we get over (if visa app goes to plan!!) Sounds like there might be more brits than aussies there though!!

Hayley :D

Ha, it does seem like there will be more brits in Point Cook than Aussies.

Hi Steph,
The other areas we will be looking at are Williamstown, Altona, Laverton, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing and plenty other areas I'm sure!!!. We are looking to rent initially so we can have a good look round and decide where we want to be in the long term.

We've never been to OZ before so we have no idea what the areas are like.

Definately have to stay in touch. When do you expect to be out there?

Lisa.

Hi,

We're waiting at the minute for our pre-grant letter. It could be with us anyday now and once we have our visas in our passport we'll be off as soon as we can, so it could be as soon as a couple of weeks or as long as a couple of months :(

Williamstown is really lovely but very expensive. I'm not too sure about Werribee and Hoppers Crossing. You seem to get a lot of house for your money but I don't know what the area is like... other than it's fab little shopping mall ;)

Hi Alison,

I know what you mean. There is so much choice and such a huge difference in price too.

I wouldn't take other people's opinions too seriously - unless they are talking about crime/safety etc. People like areas and dislike areas for very different reasons.

Hi all,

We live in a new area called Truganina (in the western subs) right next to Hoppers Crossing.

Just a little info for you, Hoppers Crossin, Werribee, Tarneit and Truganina are really nice area's we have not had any problems at all here and the kids have settled really well. You do get a lot for your money in these area's and the shopping is great :lol:

Hope this helps 8)

regards,

Ang & Sean
